On March 4, it was revealed through the group’s SNS that “the tear gas projectiles and cartridges found in Myanmar match the products of Korean company D.”
Last month, the Foundation announced that it is presumed that the grenade-type tear gas found in Pyinmana, central Myanmar, belongs to South Korea.
South Korea exports tear gas to Myanmar:
In fact, “a record of Korean companies exporting tear gas to Myanmar in 2014” remains.
It was confirmed that “277,742 tear gas bullets were exported to Myanmar in 2014.”
It was understood that “these products are all produced by the Korean company.”
Humanitarian issues raised:
“In 2013, humanitarian issues regarding the export of tear gas, mainly by citizen groups,” were raised.
Exports of tear gas have been suspended.
However, the police have resumed the export license on the condition that they comply with safety precautions and prohibit Korean labeling on the casing.
Korean manufacturer D:
There is no breakdown of exports to Myanmar.
It keeps a breakdown of exports for about five years.
The data before that is discarded,
I can’t confirm.
Hwang Sooyoung
Director of Solidarity Peace Disarmament Center:
It is not possible to accurately grasp “whether or not a product made in Korea was used”.
However, there are export records.
It means that some of the tear gas bullets used by the Myanmar police are definitely from South Korea.
